People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Sadly enough, broken people often create some of the best art. See Robin Williams, Van Gogh, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Heath Ledger, Richard Pryor, Plath, Johny Cash, Brian Wilson, Kurk Cobain etc. Also, please note that this is not a rule, there are always exceptions. I feel imho when you are going or have been through hell. You have a outlook or understanding of life, that often others dont.
Robin Williams killed himself due to a medical condition rather than a physchological one, and Heath Ledger's death was accidental.
On a quick google Robin Williams suffered from depression and aniexty possibly due to his undiagnosed disease. Heath im not sure about im getting mixed google results sorry:X.
